Acro Lab 2022
Come join us in our Summer Acro Lab taught by Megan Green, Amie Rigby & Selene Ballesteros-Mingüer!
This is a great opportunity to improve conditioning, tumbling, flexibility, hand balancing and tricks. We will also be including aerial silks & contortion! This is a perfect workshop for students to gain new skills and refine old ones, as well as lay a strong foundation for the year, for students who will be taking Acro classes with us in the fall.
Acro Lab is required for all competitive Acro students.
We can't wait to see you there!
